I don't know, I'm wary to go around considering us all a 'minority'. It's a term heard all too often these days, when we should be looking to unify people. Instead, declaring minority status serves to segregate us from each other. In these days of political correctness, it just feels too easy just to say that.
I don't deny what I have, and I don't want to feel like I have to hide it... but when it comes to looking for a job... the amount of times I've mentioned I had Aspergers to a potential employer, only to never hear from them again, or to be given only rudimentary tasks without being asked if I wanted more. I've become very jaded and cynical about the whole thing.
